National Science Foundation: Research Experiences for Undergraduates

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program.

School of Engineering

Accelerated Masters Programs
In an effort to expose students to engineering research earlier in their undergraduate careers, the School of Engineering offers accelerated MS programs in Electrical & Computer Engineering and in Mechanical Engineering. Students in the program will normally work on research toward their thesis objective starting in the summer of their junior year.

Civil / Environmental Engineering
The Richard Barrett Scholarships provide prestigious, competitive awards to four to five outstanding undergraduate engineers who wish to pursue a specific research project under the mentorship of a faculty member. For more information, contact Professor Donna Rizzo (drizzo@uvm.edu).
